Our newest kitchen addition

I'm so excited to say that our new range hood is here and already installed! I have been drooling over stainless steel appliances for years now and I can't believe I am finally looking at them in MY kitchen!

We still need to update the fridge, so maybe we can do that later on this summer.

Anyway, on to the pictures!

We were able to score some really great deals at Lowe's on the stove and the dishwasher a while back. It all started when my dad took me to get a new dishwasher for my Christmas gift (pretty generous gift!) Our last one had stopped working months earlier. When we got to Lowe's I couldn't believe the great deals they had going on! This was around the time of Black Friday. I was able to get a dishwasher and stove for the amount of money my dad gave me for a dishwasher. Well, we put about $100 in of our money, but it was sooo worth it! I tried to give him back the money left after the dishwasher was purchased, but he would not take it, and insisted I spend it on something I wanted for the house. Totally the best Christmas gifts I've ever received!

This past weekend we picked up our range hood, which completed the whole look and feel. I found it at The Home Depot for only $97! I thought that was a great deal for a great looking range hood. It's very sleek and simple, exactly what I was looking for.

Here is a shot of our previous white appliances next to our new stainless ones.

Love, love, love.

And here is a little reminder of where we started with this little kitchen of ours:

Lowes had great deals then! We bought the fridge, dishwasher and stove all at once then because it was the same price as other stores were selling the fridge (only!). Love the range hood, it's beautiful! What kind of countertops do you have?

We have a similar kitchen, with lower cabinets & soffits. I think your backsplash is lovely, but I'm wondering where your electrical outlets are?We have lots of light switches and outlets which would probably make the backsplash look choppy.Ideas?

Hey Carol! We have two electrical outlets. One is behind the canisters and the other one is behind the paper towels, so they are hidden. I keep all of my small appliances, like our toaster, etc. in a cabinet and I only bring them out when I need to use them, so when they are not in use my outlets are hidden by the accessories. Surprisingly though they blend in well with the back splash even when they are showing. We chose bright white outlets and outlet covers, so they blend right in with the bright white bead board. Hope that's helpful! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!

The kitchen is looking awesome – congratulations. I too love stainless steel and went for the same when we recently remodelled. I persuaded my husband to include money in the budget to upgrade all our small appliances to stainless steel too. Got rid of the mismatched items and now everything is in steel – blender, wok, toaster, mixer … all lovely and shiny.
